Popular Post Bullheaded Posted July 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2022 Better post this here because my friend wants to post it everywhere else, LOL Hope they don't mind, but this is a local crushing company and they used to run ALL Mack. All 3406 425 Cat powered Superliners and then 425 Cat CL's (they have all Cat power in everything, equipment, crushers, gen sets, etc.) At one time I think they had up to 30 trucks on the road. They pull the equipment and belly dump trailers. Looks like they fixed up one of the old Superliners!! Unfortunately when Mack quit offering Cat's they switched to T800 KW's. And now they are stuck with Cumm-a-parts. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 As much as I love our Mack's.... I would run the wheels off an FLD with a 12.7 Detroit, and a 10 or 13 spd. I aint no super trucker, but I know I can run that sucker any day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavCut Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Great photos and story @Bullheaded Have a few questions. What is the application of the hopper trailers? Do they unload into a stacker of some sort? Also, what is at the rear of the trailer, some sort of loading system? Thank you for posting.

Dave They do all the MTO (Ministry of Transportation Ontario) crushing. They make all the aggregate for the gravel secondary roads and they produce and put up all the winter sand for our highways. So they have a fleet or lowbed float trailers for all the loaders and excavators, and the belly dumps haul the product to all the MTO yards and they also spread on all the roads they are re-gravelling. They have all kinds of interesting stackers too. They have low profile ones that sit on the ground and the belly dumps drive over them and dump and it goes up a stacker into the sand domes at all the MTO yards. That may be what that is. I didn't go get a look at it. They are a pretty impressive operation. Nobody can match their setup times and the production they put out. All self sufficient. They are also the largest producer of Maple Syrup in Ontario Canada. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 I used to be so impressed by them when I was a kid....watching all those Superliners just flying wide open. They didn't screw around. Odd I never worked for them, but I did drive for the other big all Mack fleet here that always had the salt contract for the MTO. So I did get to run hard in R's, Superliners and Ultraliner's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBWhite Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Im a big Cat guy so this is awesome! I have a couple of questions though: Could you get a Mack transmission with any engine or only with Mack engines? Also Ive never seen a Cat engine in an Ultraliner. Ive seen some cummins and a couple of Detroits but never a Cat, are they rare or did they just never put them in em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 I had thought I had a brochure that showed Cat in an MH Ultraliner, but maybe I'm thinking of something else? I just had a quick look at some of my brochures and all I saw was that you could get Cat's in a Cruiseliner. I'm not sure about transmission choices. I know in my area here of northern Ontario Mack transmissions were never a big take. Most all the Mack's I ever drove here were Eaton 15 speeds. Though I have drove a few with Mack 12 speeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 That is sure a sweet looking Superliner. I wouldn't be able to get rid of any, LOL I never saw a heater unit in a Superliner or R Model that I drove that looked like that one.....I mean shape-wise. Is that a year/date thing? All the ones I drove were in the 80's and 90's mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1961H67 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Lol, to be honest I have never compared it to the others, it’s a Superliner 1 , all the others are 2s . I’ll look tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrybarbon Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 This a Mark 11 Superliner, originally had E9 and later converted to a Cat and from memory an 18 spd R/ranger box, possibly double overdrive. It has been over, rebuilt and a daily working dog. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
